One Little Song

Gillian Welch - One Little Song


Tab by Avi Yaacov
Israel, September 7, 2013


This is an incredibly beautiful song.

I hope the following tab gives anyone who wishes to play it a good idea how - wasn’t 
aiming for it to be an exact copy of what’s played, she plays it from the heart, we should 
all hope to do the same :)

Enjoy!
